Magaway What will you call a law that threatens to refute one's rights to freedom of expression yet has the concept of protecting it [freedom of expression]? Unconstitutional? Maybe. How about, a triggering device for netizens to participate in the issues, inside the cyber domain, responsibly? From House Bill No. 5808, authored by Representative Susan Yap-Sulit of the second district of Tarlac and 36 other co-authors, and Senate Bill No. 2976, proposed by Senator Edgardo Angara, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 or R.A. No. 10175 existed as President Benigno Aquino Il, shortly after Corona’s impeachment trial, signed its right for passage last September 12, 2012 and took effect on October 3, 2012. This law ensures the Use of cyberspace in a responsible manner, as Edwin Lacierda, Presidential spokesperson, echoed, "...ang sinasabi lang naman ng ating Pangulo is dapat din maging responsable ang isang tao sa pagsulat sa cyberspace". However, this law received innumerable protests, not for its precept of preventing cybercrimes, but on the potential curtailment of the freedom of expression. Cyberspace, to most Filipino netizens, is the only space where they can freely express and share their opinions and views honestly and unfazed. On the other hand, Lacierda, in defense, has said, "May mekanismo for responsibility that accompanies any freedom, in this case, freedom of expression. We've recognized that there are reasonable imitations to freedom of expression’ This Act has 8 chapters and 31 sections. It is addressed to several criminal offenses such as illegal access, data interference, cybersquatting, cyber fraud, child pornography, cybersex, spam, libel and so forth. With universal jurisdiction, its provisions apply to all Filipino nationals regardless of the place of commission. Its jurisdiction also lies when a punishable act is either committed within the Philippines, whether the erring device is wholly or partly situated in the Philippines, or whether damage was done to any natural or juridical person who at the time of commission was within the Philippines. Under the supervision of the Department of Justice, the Act prompts the creation of a cybercrime unit formed from the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police empowered to exclusively handle cases Violating the Act. Under this unit is the collecting of real-time traffic data from Intemet service providers, require the disclosure of computer data within 72 hours after receipt of a court warrant from a service provider, conduct searches and seizures of computer data and equipment and mandates the establishment of special "cybercrime courts" which will handle cases involving cybercrime offenses (offenses enumerated in Section 4(a) of the Act). The protests against this act got even louder when some senate officials issued their counterpoints to the effect of the Act. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said that the Act was unconstitutional particularly on the statement enclosed in the provisions. Thus, she predicted that the Supreme Court would point its being unconstitutional. She also said that the construction of the provisions was vague. Other than being unconstitutional, Defensor viewed the Act as an obstruction to the commerce of free ideas as opposed to the absolute constitutional provisions stating: No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech. Since these provisions, as said, hinder the ‘freedom of expression in the Philippine CO_Q1_SHS English or Academic and Professional Purposes _ Module 5cyberspace, it was already tagged as the Cyber Martial Law. Accordingly, the 13th petition, filed by the Bayan Muna party-list through Rep. Neri Colmenares, claimed that RA 10175 Violates the freedom of expression, due process, equal protection, right to privacy and ‘orrespondence, and the right to unreasonable searches and seizures. As said by Panaglinan, “It... (RA 10175) does not explain what standards distinguish Internet users from other ordinary criminals” The local business process outsourcing industry viewed the law as something relevant to the increase of their market. To them, it will be an attraction for investors. The media is most affected in the implementation of this Act since it [cyber world] is one of the places where they can gather and share information from and to the public in just a short period of time. On this, the social networkers, whom the media sees as potential and immediate audience to their cause, are mitigated from voicing out lucid and lurid yet honest opinions. As for me, the cyber world perhaps is a concrete representation and extension of unlimited freedom of expression, but | think, because of this unlimited freedom, many have gone overboard-—- citing and using it to evoke malicious mischiefs. What can the right for freedom of expression bring if it will be used to step on the reputation of others? To me, the RA 10175, is more on protecting the freedom of expression rather than undermining it. This Act only pushes the netizens to responsibly participate in the exchange of ideas in such medium— that their ideas must construct rather than destruct the disposition of others; so that they become aware that their ideas may pose a potential threat to somebody else's space. What one says is important but how he/she says it is crucial— coherent to this statement is the concept of the cybercrime law. We have a say to everything and I think, the law only requires us to, if very important and can possibly contribute to the progress in the discussion of a certain issue, share it in a manner that highlights reason over plain gossips and hearsays. Beyond reasonable doubts, | say, RA10175, being the plaintif, is not guilty for undermining freedom of expression.
